FRD USA introduced a new hydraulic breaker in the Fx800 Qtv, a 12,000-ft. lb. class model that offers increased breaking performance and reduced energy loss during operation.

The Fx800 replaces FRD USA’s Fx770 12,000-ft lb. class breaker.

The Fx800 runs on 48.5-ton to 83-ton excavators, requiring the same pressure and flow as the Fx770. The new model, however, features re-engineered internal hydraulic routing. The company says this delivers improved efficiency, improved breaking performance and reduced energy loss during operation.

Among the updates to the Fx800 are modified thru bolts with a larger thread diameter to increase thru-bolt longevity and improve operating life; a more robust front head that’s ideal for abrasive applications; and an anti-blow feature for increased performance.

Also, large-diameter working steel at 7.48 in. maximizes rock breaking, and a redesigned soundproof cover provides easier maintenance access.

“The new Fx800 breaker is a great choice for breaking hard rock, working in quarries and large-scale demolition jobs,” says Ted Crane, FRD USA national sales manager of the breaker attachment division. “The Fx770 has always been a dependable, powerful breaker. The Fx800 builds on that foundation with multiple updates and advancements to make it even more powerful and efficient, while also reducing downtime and maintenance.”
